2014 Mazda 3

thanks for the reply.. will charge for the meantime while waiting for the lift of ecq..

car drives fast and stable.. easy to accelerate and the sound of the exhaust is nice.. tried to floor it several times to check transmission response, its quick and no shift shock during downshift and upshift.

i find the door mounted side mirror position a little weird.. at first glance, i always see the side body of the assembly instead of the mirror..

will do DIY interior cleaning in the next days! removed its cabin filter and its already nasty.. need to buy replacement

Skyactiv-drive ATs are super responsive and reliable, they really nailed the tuning. Reviewers keep insisting the 6AT is outdated, lacking in gears, I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Btw, manual will say the ATF is lifetime which is false. Concensus among owners is you should change it by 80k at the latest, drain and fill only.

Charged the battery using ctek for around 5 hours today.. i-stop amber light is gone and the battery management warning..

Drive around for 30 mins but i think.its not enough to make the i-stop ready..

Tested the a/t revving up to 5k rpms.. shifted fine and smooth

5k rpm lang? Give it a redline treatment. Hehehehe

John's asking you to try the KICKDOWN switch.[emoji16]
The Accelerator Pedal Kick Down Switch in your Mazda is awesome! - YouTube

Ah the downshift 2 gears switch you mean. Never fails to make me grin.

Try this: Brake hard from high speed like you're entering a corner. The AT will downshift and blip to 4k. It will then hold that gear while you're in the corner and upshift at redline when you straighten out. Feels good man....
